Outer Banks with 35" BFG KO2s - no lift, no rub

[75BroncoChad]

I just got my Outer banks, 2.7 area 51 this week. I had installed factory ford wheels with 315/70/17 tires. So far, no rub or any other issues. I will eventually install a 2" lift, but just want to see what other lifts come out at the first of the year. Thought others may be interested doing larger tires without a lift.

Plus I installed the classic bronco emblem, the gloss black works well with the area 51.

So far, the Bronco has been great and drives very smooth.

Looks great and love the color combo! Amazing no rub.

What is the tire size ? I expect my OBX 2.7 AMB this week, I have floss white Bronco script as well. I like the 18inch stock rims, just would like to add 275/70 18R KO2s with out a lift.

Nice!!

Once the factory 33" KO2s wear our on my Badlands, I intend on doing exactly what you did--slap on some 35" KO2s

Where did you get the factory Wildtrak wheels? Buy it off of someone who didn't want theirs?

Ha! I told people this worked and no one believed me. Mostly because I made it up. Fools.

Could cause rubbing while off roading perhaps?

Which "factory Ford Wheels" are those, from what model and size? They look nice. The stock OBX has 7.5x18 wheels. Good thing you're planning a lift, by the looks, they're tight in there and once on the trails . . .

It's an OB, that thing isn't going off pavement lol.

Either will most Broncos fitted with the SAS package, just like most lifted trucks out there with 35s and not a spec of dirt on them that I constantly see every day.

Same here. Mine should be coming in this week. I already had the dealer order my 275/70/18 KO2s to have them put on during prep. I was under the impression that was the largest without modification.

My wife’s won’t either, even with a lift and tires….she just wants to know if she gets a crown or tiara for being a pavement princess!

Are those WIldtrak Wheels? I just bought some Badlands non-sas take-offs wheels and tires to add to my OB when I get it. I wanted the 17 inch rim for more tire options. My plan is 2 inch front and 1 Inch rear lift when mine comes in.

My tire is 315/70/17. Just had to remove the crashbars.
